News: Wolfgang Dauner Group's Rischkas Soul coming soon on Long Hair!

Big news today! The great German reissue label Long Hair is releasing the much wanted Rischkas Soul on CD and LP soon. I was wondering if Dauner would ever get to his (IMO) best title. Now we know he will!

Label says: "For the first time on CD and Vinyl reissue Dauners famous release
'Rischkas Soul'! Recorded in November, 1969 and first released as a so
called private pressing the recordings had a second release nearly three
years later on famous German label Brain (1016, 1972). Dauner with his
strong sidemen Sigi Schwab, guitar and Eberhard Weber, bass and cello
with two drummers (Braceful and Wittich) played cool jazz fusion with
fluiding organ play from Dauner, sometimes heavy, sometimes dreamy and
psychedelic guitar eruptions from master of guitar Sigi Schwab, tuneful
and melodic and mostly straight on rhythms. CD and LP come with
informative booklet/ insert and liner notes from Wolfgang Dauner
himself. A must have!"

And since I have that Brain label LP copy, I'll probably just get the CD this time. But if you don't have the LP, it's worth getting for the gatefold artwork!

Key to the Priority codes:

Priority 1: Amongst the greatest albums ever made. Almost criminal that it is not available on CD.

Priority 2: An excellent album. One of the greatest albums still not on CD.

Priority 3: A very good album, and worthy of a CD reissue.

No Priority: The rest, which range from good to terrible and everything in between. Many of these albums are borderline Priority 3, and should not be presumed to be poor efforts. I had to draw the line somewhere.
